Applica- 4 Claims. (Cl. 88-101) thereby, for holding the mirror in front of the user. I provide meansspermitting. the mirror support to be adjusted for attaining correct positioning of the mirror, and the mirror comprises two reecting surfaces, one a plane mirror and the other a concave mirror. v

This invention also consists in certain other features of 'construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated Pin the accompanying drawing'a'nd specically pointed out in the appended claims. v

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the manner in which the mirror may be supported by the body of the user; p

Fig. 2 is a iront elevation;

- Fig. 3 is a side elevation;

Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken along 4 4 of Fig. 3; and- Fig. 5 is a detail view of some ot the parts.

' jIn the embodiment selected to` illustrate my invention, I make use of a standard II comprising a wire twisted upon itself to provide a loop' I 2. 'I'he two ends of the wire are separated and bent into the shape of a half circle I6, with short portions Il the line arranged in axial alignment to provide bearings for a reflector 2li having sockets 22 arranged to loosely receivethe bearings I8.

To suppcrtthev device upon the neck and breast oi' the user, I make use of a wire hook 24 shaped 1.to fit the neck, as illustrated in Fig. 1. and protension 34 the weight of the mirror 2li tends to 1 swing the standard slightly out of true vertical alignment. With the extension 24 the standard is held in-true vertical alignment, thus holding the mirror directly in iront of the met.

A loop 38 is formed upon thev end of the hook 24, to provide an end oi' gentle curvature. Similarly, the end of the extension 34 is bent back at 38 to provide a similar formation, both of which prevent tearlng of the wearers clothing or scratching of the neck and breast. I space the end 3B suiilciently far from the end 38 to permit the hook to be easily passed over the neck of the wearer.

Referring to Fig. 4, the reflector 20 comprises a frame 40 supporting a plane mirror 42 and a concave mirror 44, either of which may be employed by rotating the reilector 2D approximately about the axis of the bearing portions I8. The standard I0 is easily adjusted to position the Vreflector at the proper distance from the face of the user, while the pivotal mounting for the reflector permits easy adjustment of the reector to its proper angle.

My device embodies a portable mirror eliminating the necessity for special supporting structures other than the neck and breast of the user. Thus, the coiil'ure and cosmetic` make-up may be made at any Place and need notl be limited to locations having either special facilities for mounting oi' the mirror or permanently installed mirrors. A further unique advantage resides in the fact that the device'may be use d by duck hunters as a rear view mirror so that they may make observations in all directions without turning around and disturbing the game.

Without further elaboration the'fore'going will so i'ully explain my invention that others may, by applying current knowledge, .readily adapt the same for use under various conditions of service.

I claim:

1. In a portable mirror, a wire standard bent back upon itself to provide a loop and twisted together to provide a unitary construction, the ends of the wire being separated for connection with the mirror, a hook arranged to partly encircle the neck of the wearer, said hook being provided with a loop corresponding to the loop of said standard, and a fastening screw passing through said loops, to adjustably connect the standard with 4said hook.

2. In a portable mirror, a wire standard bent back upon itself to provide a loop and twisted together to provide a unitaryconstruction, the ends of said'wire being separated for connection with the mirror, a hook arranged to partly encircle the neck of the user, said hook being provided with a loop corresponding to the loop ot nid standard, and a fastening screw' passing through said loops, to adjustably connect the standard with said hook, said hook being provided with a supporting reach arranged to rest on the breast of the user, to prevent swaying of the standard.

3. A portable mirror for connection with the body--of the wearer, comprising a reflector, a

standard movably connected with the reflector,

and a single hook shaped to partly encircle the neck of the wearer and including a transverse bracing reach lying'in the same plane as the hook and having pivotal connection between its ends with the lower end of said standard, said 'bracing reach being arranged to rest upon the breast of the wearer. v

f1. A portable mirror for connection with theA body of the user, comprising a reector, a standard member pivotaliy connected with the reflector, a single hook member shaped partly to encircle the neck of the user, a transverse bracing reach connected to one of said last two members and a pivotal connection between the other of said lasttwo members and said transverse
